Been doing a ton of reading, and thus far it looks like maybe its impossible but I thought i'd start a thread and see if any one else could come up with something.

Running windows 10 with an R9 290. I've got a 30" (2560x1600) as my main monitor and recently was given (2) 19" 1600X900 monitors. Been trying for the life of me to figure out how I can run the two 19" monitors in portrait, since in that orientation, they have the same vertical resolution as my 30" monitor. From what I can tell Eyefinity isn't an option with that card, it just doesn't support mixed orientation. I've read a little bit about SoftTH, but if I understand correctly, it only works with DirectX 9, and windows 10 operation is sketchy?

Is there a way to get SofTH to work with my setup? Or is there another solution out there? For right now, I'm just trying to get this setup to work with World of Warcraft, but I've got plans for some racing simulation stuff later on.

Would love any input folks have, even if its "It can't be done currently". That way I can quit looking!

Thanks in advance!

Windowed mode is the only option you have.

Haldi is correct. Once you upgrade to an AMD card that supports it, it works well...

Makes sense. Probably not upgrading in near future. Since I was gifted the monitors I was just hoping to make it work.

Maybe in a couple years though.
